Balancing mitigation and economic growth: what is the role of transformative portfolios, green bonds, and green energy?

Competing priorities, limited resources and no time to waste. Accelerating climate action requires prioritising interventions that have proven to be effective.

The German Institute for Development Evaluation and the Independent Evaluation Group are organising a series of seminars ahead of COP29 on the latest evidence on effective climate action. Evidence for Climate Action (E4CA) runs from 4-7 November. Read more about the series of seminars.

EBA Programme Manager Númi Östlund will speak at a webinar on 7 November on the role of transformative portfolios, green bonds and green energy in balancing emissions reductions and economic growth. Is it possible to stimulate economic development for the poor while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and can green bonds bridge the gap between development and climate goals? Read more and register to the webinar.

A starting point for the conversation is the EBA report Swedish Climate-change Mitigation Finance, which explores how Swedish climate aid can contribute to achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement.
